I wonder how open they would be to expanding the police presence, keeping violent inmates off bail and serving maximum sentences, and hunting down gang members like deer?

Cratered streets, open sewers, poison water, business closures, embezzling grifters and collapsed bridges make folks mean. Y'all people give the marxist mayor a ringing earful!

I predict talk of gun control, more basketball courts, social workers, and the like.
Bet not one conversation about parents actually raising morally sound children.

Because if it does not come with "free" government cash or benefits, they really don't want to hear it.

And the ugly hard truth is, our society is inundated with unfit/absent parents.
That is why we have ended up with hoards of useless parasitic humans.
Real parenting is hard, and produces productive members of society.

this conversation should start and end with "families". If you have intact, caring, loving families the crime rate would decrease by 80% overnight. And everyone knows this.

Heh, They are going to get attendance by giving a meal to those who attend. Would love to see attendance figures for this meeting

In reality, the people embrace, nurture and excuse crime.

The first word says it all: Conversations. All this meeting will be is a lot of talk. A lot of talk about (a) why no one actually committing the violence / crime is responsible for the violence / crime, and (b) why white people should be blamed for everything wrong with Jackson.

Anonymous said...

That should be a very short discussion. That is if they are really interested in lowering crime in Jackson. It is simple. Just put the crooks in jail instead of letting them walk the streets and commit more crimes.
Somehow I doubt that subject will never come up.

So basically the National League of Cities is here to see how the $1 million dollar grant they awarded to Jackson for "safety and violence reduction strategies" is being put to use.

So far, it appears to be a lot of "conversation" and little action, unless you count protesting against HB 1020 and providing free meals and childcare during said "conversation" to drum up interest. Would love to know how much of the $1 million grant has been spent to date and on what, and obviously what % is benefitting friends and/or relatives of the mayor.

1. Gun show "loop-holes"
2. "Open carry" laws
3. "Common sense" gun control
4. Racist governor's office
5. Trump
6. Pursuits from Rankin, Warren, and Madison Counties
7. Yawn
8. Yawn, yawn
9. Oh wait, IT'S A PERCEPTION OF CRIME.

It's a Perception, Stupid said...

Now just wait a second! The mayor has already proclaimed that it's a PERCEPTION of CRIME, and THERE are NO GANGS in Jackson.

Right?

If it was a "perception of crime" after he took office, but now there is a crime problem, then that happened on HIS WATCH!

Right?

let me know when accountability and responsibility come up on the agenda ...

Second annual. What did the first one accomplish?

Anonymous said...

"The Public Safety Taskforce of the Mayor’s Office"? Who Knew?

But it is indeed a start to acknowledge victims of homicide are encountering a "public health issue".

Hmmm. I need to go back to the agenda/guest list and see if the Cap PoPo are invited to speak.

Talk is cheap and always a bunch of bullshit, especially when it comes to libbed up events like this. As long as they continue to talk about the problem and not actually do anything, then crime in Jacktown will continue to get worse. All liberals know how to do is talk; they are not known to be doers.......that would require too much effort.

Anonymous said...

They will never mention the need for more police, or changing the "culture" in Jackson. This is just the same tired old rhetoric that the mayor pushes around while he builds his new republic via the deterioration of Jackson.

Also, some consultant is probably getting paid through some grant for these meetings if I had to guess.

Jackson has a gang problem. Lumumba must acknowledge that first.

@10:48 Of course they weren't invited - if they were given the opportunity to be there to engage with the public and defend themselves against the narrative pushed by the mayor, the mayor would have no one to point fingers at during the "conversation". I'm sure he'll tell the people who show up that cap police was invited but chose not to attend. And continue to spout off figures about their "police-involved shootings" but fail to give the same stats on JPD. Or any relevant stats for that matter. Only those that suit his narrative.

It's sad so many of his followers can't seem to see through his bs, but it's getting harder to ignore now that the majority of the city council is standing up to him.

Never thought about violent crime being addressed "...from a public health perspective".

But then again, I suppose if you get shot, you'd be unhealthy.

Is this press release a ploy to get Rukia TV time, LOL

10:27 The $1 million covers the dinner & guest speakers. Right?

Also will the audience Pledge Allegance to the US while the Mayor-who is receiving a check from US taxpayers steps up and leads the Pledge as opposed to leaving the room? Right! Let’s see how the media show this on National news!

Looks like 10:12 pretty much covered it.

Just offering a couple of fund-raiser ideas to the group for tomorrow night. 1) Sell a card for "over-under" on the number of times "Right" will be spoken by the Mayor, and 2) Have a perfecta card for the exact number of times "Right" will be spoken by the Mayor. $1.00 per card on the first and a $10.00 card on the second.

Will the have the pledge of allegiance?

JPD is reporting crime is down in Jackson. This meeting must be a celebration.

Racism, Chuck’s new world order and it’s the man’s fault. That should sum it up.

So, does this mean that non-violent crime is OK, or just not a priority?

So, it's been three days. Where's the follow from our local correspondent who tracks Chokwe like a hound dawg?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
